Good lord, it’s been like four months since I’ve posted here. Been a wild start to the year so far with some great personal growth amidst a bit of turmoil and frustration. But hey, growth doesn’t have to be pretty.

Without further ado, here’s some of the art I’ve been up to!

Mountain chateau sketch I did for a friend

Mountainside greenhouse and farm I did for a friend

Study of a fish from Mario and my character Gorbold Trashman in a similar style, saying “cool” in Japanese

Couple sketches mostly from imagination, of rocky terrain and a tree

Study of a character drawing by A. Shipwright, and a rock I drew from imagination

Above are all sketches I did this year. I’m quite pleased with them all, and can tell I’ve made some good progress, artistically.

Study of an island covered in trees and such

Drawing of a man walking through a marshy, rock-filled area

Rolling, rocky hills with a creek in the middle of them

Couple artist trading card drawings of waterfalls and cliffs

Above are a bunch of studies and gifts I made in December, with some Copic markers I got. I’m not sure I’ll use the markers a whole lot in the future as their ink tends to fade pretty quickly, but they’re nice and quick for getting ideas out.

Two sketches, one a colorful thumbnail of a boat in front of a lake, and another of a forest done in brown, orange, black, and green inks

A perspective study of a tree above a rock wall with stones paving the ground in front of it

I hope you enjoy this slideshow! I’d have more to say about it but honestly it’s been a struggle just getting art done at all these past several weeks. At least doing these rock studies and such have been really helping me figure out how to draw in perspective!

Hey friends! It’s been a bit since I’ve collected a bunch of my recent art on here, so here goes!

Above are a bunch of trees I did recently. The two with color are birthday gifts I did for a couple friends, and the other two are experiments I did while puzzling out a new method of doing art.

Above are more sketches I did, fiddling around with a different pen (the first two) and getting more experimental with my brush pen. I’ve actually finally worn out my brush pen after three years, so I’m waiting on a new tip to arrive in the mail soon.

My bell echoes its
whisper on the cool, damp breeze through the ruins of my village. It provides a
ward against the hungering ghosts of my friends and family, who didn’t survive
the wrath of another man’s god. I rummage through the remains of my ancestral
home, longing for a keepsake, or at least some semblance of a reminder of where
I came from.

I can feel their
ice-hot breath breathing down my neck, blinding by their own rage and betrayal.
It wasn’t me who gave away the secrets of our village’s ancient, magical
defenses, but I was outside the walls when it happened. They don’t recognize me
anymore.

No longer able to
tolerate the air of spiteful remorse, I leave the village with a small pouch of
seeds exclusive to my home. With all that was turned to ashes, someone needs to
sew fresh growth upon this land. My magic within shall be the only memento I
need.

Hey friends! It’s been awhile! I’ve been somewhat off the radar for the past month or so while I develop better habits with my art and life in general. Art-wise, most of what I’ve been up to has been delving back into writing, and doing a lot of studies. I can’t share much of it yet, but here’s a bunch of sketches I’ve done!

Also: I turn 30 tomorrow (June 21st)! Yay moving on to the next era of my life. Here’s to more cool art and more personal growth!
